The stay was generally acceptable, and Mike was available throughout the stay. However, a few areas need improvement, and a few were just plain misrepresented.
1. NOISE! The entire apartment block is located right beside a club (Havana Social, for your information). The club blasts heavy bass music all the way till 2 AM IN THE MORNING, even earplugs didn’t help. I tried to get Mike’s help with this, but he basically told me to close the windows and deal with it. It was basically forced insomnia till 2am everyday. Just be aware of this should you choose to stay in this apartment.
2. Cleanliness. We found bits of crackers and pubic hair in the carpets. The rest of the apartment was acceptable. It would help if a vacuum were provided since it seemed as though the carpet hasn’t been vacuumed in months. There were drain flies constantly coming out of the shower drain holes despite our best efforts with hot water.
3. Water and Internet. Both died numerous times during our stay, the longest of which was around an hour or so. I was fortunate to be able to use my mobile internet for work when WIFI was unavailable. So, be prepared for the occasional lack of either water or internet during your stay.
4. Proximity to the train station (BTS) left much to be desired. It’s about a 15 minute walk to the station, and expect widespread flooding around the area should it rain. The lack of an umbrella in the unit definitely didn’t help.
I’ve been factual in my review, and hope it helps anyone thinking of staying at Mike’s place.
